This course is about the design and operation of processes for making products such as food, fuels, medicines, plastics and the basic materials for high technology industries.
You will spend a lot of time learning practical skills and building up experience through lab work, projects and industrial visits.
At some point in the first two years, you'll take the Global Engineering Challenge, working as part of a team with students from other engineering disciplines, and coming up with creative solutions to problems.
With help from our careers and industrial placements team we'll help you find and secure your own paid placement in industry for at least 38 weeks between years two and three. You'll benefit from experiencing the culture in industry and make valuable contacts. A year in industry will put your academic studies into context, improve your skills and your employability on graduation.
In the third year, you'll work as part of a team again, on a design project. Some of these projects are developed with industrial partners such as Nestlé, GSK, Proctor and Gamble and BASF.
The first two years of all our courses are the same. You have the flexibility to switch courses at the end of the second year.
